In the capital of the Jia Ma Empire.
After Ji Li stepped in, Xiao Li and Yao Ye had successfully become engaged.
At that moment, the two were strolling through the Imperial Capital together.
Xiao Li was no stranger to the Jia Ma Imperial Capital.
After all, he had lived there for quite a long time as a child and had returned several times since.
Still, both of them looked rather awkward as they walked together.
There was no need to explain Xiao Li's situation. He had been dragged into this and set up. What could he say?
As for Yao Ye, she was still completely dazed.
From her perspective, she had simply woken up one morning and somehow already had a fiancé!
The problem was that she had barely had any contact with Xiao Li before!
Oh, no, that was not quite right.
When she had mistaken Xiao Li for a spy from another empire and pursued him to the Xiao Household, she had met him once.
But the two of them had not spoken at all back then.
Her impression of Xiao Li at the time had been that he was a little laid-back. She had gleaned nothing else about him.
So, although they were strolling together now, their unfamiliarity with each other had created a situation that looked awkward and was even more awkward in reality!
"Ahem, Your Highness, I'm truly sorry. Have I caused you a lot of trouble?"
In the end, Xiao Li was the first to break the awkward silence.
A man had to take responsibility. His parents had taught him that since childhood.
"Trouble? What do you mean?"
Princess Yao Ye paused in surprise before asking him a question in return.
She did not know whether Xiao Li meant their current outing together.
